    Hostess was not very friendly. Felt like an outsider due to bringing out toddler (no booster seats or high chairs). Food was not the best. I would expect it to be top tier if only 3 things are offered. View was amazing! It doesn’t feel like a “nice” restaurant, more like a cafe with the ambience. With all the great seafood options around, I can’t say we will be back. Server was very friendly!

    The people at Westward are the best- and the food even better? And oh, the cocktails? Amazing. The oyster shooters are to die for!

    Some of the dishes came out lukewarm. The flavors were not what you would expect for the price point.

    Went there at night (while it was sprinkling outside), and it has such great views of the city but they had most of the drapes pulled out which defeated the purpose of such a great night skyline view. The happy hour oysters were fantastic, the food overall was pretty good, service was hit or miss, I’d go back to give it another try.

    While the rain made for a very quiet and calm dining experience the food was still off the charts delicious. This restaurant was recommended to us by a Seattle local. The atmosphere is quaint and very PNW. The oysters were so fresh and tasty. The waiter helped curate the perfect oyster tasting flight. We also enjoyed the crab roll and cheeseburger. I can only imagine how much more perfect this place would be on a sunny day.

    Although the food was delicious and beautifully presented, note that the lunch menu is quite limited (only two or three main plate choices). The oyster selection (6 kinds) and quality was excellent. The male server was super friendly and knowledgeable about the oysters and menu. The other server who seated us was quite serious, terse, and prickly, but her colleague made up for it.
